CONTROL METHOD NOTES

All MBPKG-E Series Searchlights can be controlled with an internal RS-232 computer interface. With this capability, a searchlight can be remotely controlled via computer either as a stand-alone illuminator or as part of an integrated computer-controlled surveillance or security system on a pan and tilt device.

RS-232 Searchlights can be controlled using a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal or Peak Beam’s Graphical User Interface (GUI). Computer-controlled searchlights are also frequently installed with third-party Ethernet-to-Serial servers, allowing multiple searchlights to be linked together on the same network.

All searchlight models except MBPKG-E-48 can be controlled with wired remote switches. For details on remote port and switch functionality, consult the Operation Manual. Off-the-shelf controllers are available for dual-connector searchlights; contact Peak Beam for more information.

SAFETY WARNINGS

ANSI Risk Group 3. Warning. Visible and infrared radiation emitted from this searchlight.

Permanent eye damage can result. Avoid direct exposure to the beam.

Do not look directly into the searchlight beam. Exposure of the eye to either the direct searchlight beam or a beam reflected from a flat mirror-like surface can cause permanent eye injury to the unprotected eye. Follow the same precaution even when an Infrared Filter is installed on the searchlight.

Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD), Visible Light: 10 meters NOHD, Infrared Light: 30 meters for exposures greater than 10 seconds

Do not operate searchlight if the front lens is damaged or removed. Ultraviolet injury to skin and cornea can occur if the searchlight is operated with a damaged front lens or if the lens is removed.

Do not allow the concentrated beam of light to be focused on flammable materials at close distances for prolonged periods of time.

Do not operate light in an explosive environment.

Do not touch lamp connections during operation as high voltage is present.

Do not touch the quartz envelope of the lamp. If the lamp is accidentally touched, clean with rubbing alcohol and allow it to dry completely before operating the searchlight.

Always wear protective eyewear, long sleeves, and gloves if removing the front lens cover. The lamp is under positive pressure and should be handled with care.

Always disconnect searchlight from power cord when not in use, when placed in storage or when being transported to prevent accidental activation.
